anathematize

last time 
for "I wish I"
or "I should have"
conjecture and regret
and neither solves a thing
the past is static
the present fluid
the future...
intangible and insubstantial
as a gas dispersing in the air
and in situations such as these
to anathematize is facile
and fruitless and bootless
focusing on oughts and didn'ts
distracts from the business
of doing and growing
and attempts to forget
keep us from knowing better
next time
